She knew he didn't like gossip. He ignored her while she talked on about the prices of food, and when she was done, she turned to him and asked:</p> <p><em>"So aren't you going to ask me who it was?"</em></p> <p>John put his paper down and looked at her. He had a feeling she was going to tell him whether he wanted to hear it or not.</p> <p><em>"You know I'm not one for gossip...."</em> Mary said and John nearly choked on his coffee. </p> <p><em>"Oh come on Mary. Stop fooling yourself. You're the queen of gossip."</em></p> <p>She looked as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes, but continued talking. </p> <p><em>"Do you remember Susan Whitaker. She went to school with us. Apparently she is back in town."</em></p> <p>John tried not to look as shocked as he did, but Mary did not seem to notice. She finished packing the groceries in the cupboard and then took out some food to start dinner. </p> <p><em>"What are we having for dinner tonight?"</em></p> <p><em>"Pork chops, I know it's your favorite."</em> Mary said and smiled. </p> <p>John got up from the table and poured himself a drink. He opened the back door and walked outside. He needed fresh air. He couldn't stop thinking about what Mary had told him and he kept on thinking about Susan. </p> <p>He sat down on his favorite chair and sat there thinking. </p> <p>John and Mary had been married for nearly twenty years. They had two children, both grown and living on their own. John loved Mary for the most part of it. They have been high school sweethearts since the age of sixteen. Mary had never been with anyone else except John, and he had only been with her...except that one time when he stepped over the line. He could kick himself. </p> <p>One time he made a mistake and betrayed his wife and his children, but they never found out and he never thought about it again until tonight. He was on his way home from work, when he saw Susan Whitaker next to a broken vehicle in the road. There was no other cars in sight. He couldn't fix the car and offered to drop her off, wherever she was going. </p> <p>It turned into more than dropping off. He went inside to wash his hands, and she offered him a drink. He should have said no, but thought that one drink wouldn't make a difference. She was so beautiful, and inviting, and they ended up in her bedroom. He felt really awkward and stupid. He felt guilty for months, but it became easier. Susan left town a few weeks later, never to be heard from again. </p> <p>It made his life much easier. The life of a betrayer and a liar. Now Susan was back, and he didn't know how to handle it. He just hoped that Mary wouldn't try to make friends with Susan. If she does, then he was screwed. </p> <p> </p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/-ZJQRwodI607J8WyWuw-46yI2EpEXno3yuw7H_B0Zig/https/cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/453577536413237258/453590947372990464/logo12.png?width=300&height=300</p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/0x0/https://imgoat.com/uploads/974ce5ac66/102157.gif</p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmd73NC2v4u5AFvdqmUiSzSE9NF3JyDTaPN74W5czMZvSQ/giantbear.png</p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/0x0/https://imgoat.com/uploads/f93f983524/109474.gif</p> <p> </p> </html>
